The purpose of this study was to find out the generic ideas and concepts of high school principals’
competencies. This paper specifically focused on the competence of school principals based on
Ministry of Education Malaysia, Ministry of National Education Indonesia, Japanese association
for the study of Educational Administration (JASEA) and Competency Framework for Southeast
Asian School Heads. According to the purpose of this study, document analyzing was conducted
by adapting method of Concept Mapping. It was found that competencies of school principals are
divided into five sections, namely: (1) Strategic thinking and innovation: (a) Policy and direction,
(b) Managing change and innovation, and (c) Building and realizing a shared vision of school;
(2) Instructional Leadership: (a) Development of teaching,(b) Establishing collaborative structure
and climate for quality improvement of education; (3) Managerial leadership: (a) Management,
(b) Resources and operation, (c) Effective utilization of various resources and risk management;
(4) Personal excellence: (a) Self-effectiveness,(b) Personality, (c) Ethical behaviour and
leadership; (5) Stakeholder engagement: (a) Collaborative relationship with parents and
community, (b) Social, (c) Human relationship. And then the researcher adapted a generic model
for competency of high school principal by using the findings of Concept Mapping. Based on this
model, the researcher also developed a set of questionnaire and interview questions to measure the
perceptions of principals and teachers from selected Basic Education High Schools in Sagaing
Township. The quantitative and qualitative findings indicated that all principals agreed and
accepted the competencies mentioned in the generic model. Therefore, it can be said that the
generic model provides guidelines to improve the competencies of high school principals.
